JJ Duque Books Multiple Wins At BetUS Poker

I joined multiple tournaments at BetUS Poker playing 4 tournament tables simultaneously.

First tourney was the $750 Guaranteed No Limit Hold'em for a $3 +.30 buy-in. 263 players entered with 50 places getting in the money, and the first place prize was a pretty decent $165.69. I played well enough to make ITM at 18th place to win $7.73.

Another tourney was the $4,000 Satellite Turbo Rebuy and Add-On Six-Handed for $2 +.20. 22 players, 29 rebuys and 14 add-ons. First three places would win a $33 seat to the $4,000 Bounty Guaranteed. I played really well enough to make the final table, and with four players left the big stack SB pushed all-in to my BB. I was holding AK and made the call. The SB had Pocket Threes, which held up to eliminate me at fourth place, and short of the ticket. Instead, I win $15.30.

Next tourney was the $1,500 Guaranteed Bounty No Limit Hold'em with a buy-in of $6 +.60, where $2 would be paid for every player you knock out of the tournament. 249 players entered the tournament, which guaranteed 40 places paid and a first prize of $212.44. I made $20 on bounties, and made good use of my big chip stack to make it to 23rd place and win $8.52. Unfortunately for me, my QQ ran into AA, and my AA got cracked by JJ, which made a straight (UGH!!!) to knock me out of the tournament. We pushed on the flop of 10-9-8, and I too would've called the all-in with the JJ. A Lady showed on the turn and that was all she wrote. At least, I made a total of $28.52.

The last tourney I played was the $6,000 Guaranteed Re-buy and Add-On with a buy-in of $10 +1. 204 players entered with 40 places to make it in the money. I made an add-on, and played well enough to make it once again ITM for 18th place and got paid $64.80. I didn't have a big stack here like the other tourneys, and was just content to be tight and maintain with the average. Eventually, I pushed my 77 all in on a flop of 7hJhKd to be called by KhQh, with a top pair and flush draw. The flush hit on the river and I was out at 18th. Had I made it to 15th, I would've made $81. But well, that's the way it goes.

I also played a $5 +.5 Six-Handed 12 Player Max SNG with 3 places paid, but I came short lost at sixth place and did not ITM.

All in all, not a bad morning for poker. I started playing at 6:45 am after I took my son to school , and it's not even 11:00am, and my results are:

Buy-ins: $3.30 + $2.20 + $6.60 + $11 + $11(add-on) + $5.50 = $39.60
Winnings: $7.73 + $15.30 + $28.52 + $64.80 = $116.35
Total Profit: $116.35 - $39.60 = $76.75.
Current Bankroll at BetUS Poker now improved to $307.65
